RATINGS

93Wine Spectator

Dark and winey, with a luxurious feel to the mix of fig, dark plum and açaí berry flavors that cruise through, here. Licorice snap and sassafras notes add range...with a toasty backdrop.

91James Suckling

...fruity and juicy, medium-bodied...with aromas of currant, blackberry, and blueberry...palate is rather light with chewy tannins.

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley, Yountville

Yountville AVA is just west of Stags Leap and north of Oak Knoll. It is centered around the town of Yountville, named for George Yountville, who planted the area’s first vineyard in 1836. The district received appellation status in 1999 and it includes 4,000 vineyard acres. It is known for tannic Cabernet Sauvignon that has a reputation for aging well. Dominus Estate, formerly Napanook Vineyard, is one of the most prestigious producers in Yountville, and in all of Napa Valley.

TYPE

Red Wine, Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the most widely grown grape varieties, it can be found in nearly every wine growing region. A cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a hardy vine that produces a full-bodied wine with high tannins and great aging potential.
